Chapter 239: Is this the so-called love at first sight?
239 Is this what is called love at first sight?
(Today's chapter is presented, thank you for the monthly pass of the book friend [Chen Luokai Aircraft Carrier Laiye], continue to ask for collection and subscription support!) )
"Big boss, let's get to Xuzhou City soon.
"Stone, remember that out of the cottage, don't call me a big boss, call me a general, and the province will make people misunderstand that we are bandits."
"Hehe, get used to it, got it, big ......, General."
At this time, on the official road to Xuzhou, Li Zixiao and Shi Shi were leading a hundred soldiers of the White Dragon Army to Xuzhou City.
After three or four days of arranging affairs, today Li Zixiao officially led people out of the cottage and prepared to go to Jinling.
And the route he chose was not to go south to Jinling through Fengyang, but to choose to go east to Xuzhou first, meet the Xie family, and inspect the situation in Xuzhou at this time.
Then, they would board a boat in Xuzhou and take the waterway directly south to Jinling.
At this time, the Yellow River has not been diverted, and the Yellow River at this time is not economically flowing into the Yellow Sea, but through Kaifeng, Xuzhou, Huai'an, and then into the Yellow Sea.
At this time, because northern Jiangsu is still located in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, plus the Huai River, these two big rivers, it can be said that the rivers are vertical and horizontal, and the lakes are dense, which is not inferior to the land south of the Yangtze River.
Therefore, at this time, the water transportation in northern Jiangsu was extremely developed, and Li Zixiao planned to take a boat through the Yellow River and go south of the canal, which would save time and be more comfortable by waterway.
At the same time, Li Zixiao took the Xuzhou waterway, and there was another factor, that is, he wanted to see the current situation of Jiangbei with his own eyes.
Because, this is also Li Zixiao's favorite territory, and it is the next goal he wants to seek.
In the Shaanxi area west of Henan, there was a famine everywhere at this time, and there were no people for thousands of miles, so he didn't want this kind of place to give it to Li Zixiao.
And further north, you will arrive at Zhili, which is close to the capital and easy to touch the nerves of the imperial court, so it is not a good choice to go north.
Therefore, Li Zixiao's future expansion direction is left to go south and east, and he is more optimistic about expanding to the east of Xuzhou than to go south.
Because the Yellow River was diverted at this time, Jiangbei at this time was not only fertile and an important grain producing area, but also because of the developed water transportation, and the business here was prosperous.
Therefore, in Li Zixiao's heart, Jiangbei will be the most ideal foundation in his mind, and Yongcheng County at this time is just a springboard for him.
After all, a Yongcheng county is too small, and Jiangbei is the most ideal foundation in Li Zixiao's heart.
This time, he also stopped by to feel the style of the ancient Yellow River in Jiangbei.
Soon, Li Zixiao and others entered Xuzhou City and visited the Xie family, and Li Zixiao still valued the cooperation between the Xie family and the White Dragon Army.
At this time, the Xie family was the first businessman to really establish a good cooperative relationship with the White Dragon Army.
After entering Xuzhou, Li Zixiao met Xie Tiannan, the head of the Xie family, rested in Xuzhou City for one night, and boarded a southbound ship from Xuzhou the next day.
In the end, Xie Tiannan took the initiative to pay out of his pocket for dozens of people under Li Zixiao, chartered three big boats, and carried them south by water.
And Li Zixiao was ready to disembark in Yangzhou, and then divert to Jinling.
Li Zixiao and his entourage took a whole day of boat to get some wharves in Shao Bo Town, north of Yangzhou, where they disembarked, and then walked more than ten kilometers by land to arrive at Yangzhou City.
As soon as Li Zixiao and his people got off the boat, seven or eight sergeants immediately greeted them on the dock, and they were the soldiers who arrived by boat half a day ago.
A tall man with a terrifying scar on his face stepped forward and asked, "My lord, it's not early now, let's find an inn to rest first!" ”
"Well, okay. Let's find an inn to stay overnight! ”
Li Zixiao nodded and agreed, and then looked at the sky, it was about the afternoon Shenshi, it was impossible to rush to Yangzhou City, only to find an inn to stay overnight, and then set off tomorrow morning
"Goo-goo-goo......"
A cry came from his abdomen, Li Zixiao also felt a little hungry, and then looked at the seven or eight war horses next to him, still standing upright.
He said with a smile: "I actually arrived at the Yangzhou realm, and this general invited my brothers today to go and have a good tooth sacrifice, and I opened it up to eat this morning!" ”
"Thank you, Lord for your grace!"
Although the military orders were strict in Li Zixiao's team, the sergeants also showed happy smiles on their faces when they heard that Li Zixiao was going to invite guests to dinner.
Li Zixiao took the reins from the hands of a sergeant and turned over on the horse, and shouted: "Drive!" ”
The red war horse, immediately waving its powerful hooves, galloped forward, and dozens of sergeants also got on their horses and followed closely behind.
'Fuyuan' Inn is one of the famous inns in Yangzhou, covering an area of nearly ten acres.
Because of its proximity to the pier, there is a lot of traffic every day, and many people choose to eat or rest at this inn.
Li Zixiao chose to take people to rest in this inn for one night, eat and drink well, and then continue to set off for Yangzhou City the next morning.
And on the official road from Li Zixiao, at this time, a small-scale official army of dozens of people was besieged by a hundred-man pole.
And these dozens of officers and soldiers are desperately protecting a carriage, judging from the specifications of the carriage, it looks like a rich family.
"Kill!"
"Haha, little ones, rush to Lao Tzu, kill this group of officers and soldiers, catch the dog officers inside, we will get rich today."
A stout man, wielding an axe in his hand, shouted with a loud laugh.
"General, there is a situation ahead!"
Suddenly, several soldiers of the White Dragon Army who were exploring the road in front reported back.
"Stop moving forward and find out what is going on." Li Zixiao gave the order.
"General Qiyu, there is a bandit of hundreds of people in front, attacking a convoy of officers and soldiers of dozens of people." The soldiers of the White Dragon Army, who went to explore the way, quickly figured out the situation and replied.
"Really, let us meet, it's not good to care, stone, take people to disperse those bandits, save this official convoy, and see who it is."
Li Zixiao said.
"Yes, General. You let me go, and the others will stay to protect the general. ”
Quartz picked up dozens of soldiers of the White Dragon Army, including more than a dozen cavalrymen and more than a dozen birdmen, and went to the front to clear the road.
Soon, Li Zixiao heard the crackling sound of birds in front of him, and there were already faint shouts and screams, and then there was no movement soon.
After a little more than a little while, Quartz rode back, and the iron rod in his hand was still stained with a lot of blood.
"Big boss, those poles have been driven away, save a court official, go over and take a look."
Quartz returned to report.
"Let's go, let's see,"
Li Zixiao turned his horse and went.
Soon, Li Zixiao rushed to the area of the battle and found that there were already many corpses lying there, the corpses of many officers, soldiers and bandits.
After the White Dragon Army arrived, the cavalry and the bird-stricken-hand showed their strong combat power, easily driving away those bandits, and they were not damaged at all.
Here, a small convoy was protected by those remaining officers and soldiers, and one of the simple, classical carriages caught Li Zixiao's attention.
Soon, a middle-aged man in civilian clothes got out of the car, with a gentle and majestic gaze in his eyes, looking at Li Zixiao in front of him and the sergeants behind him.
Similarly, Li Zixiao was also looking at this middle-aged man, this person gave Li Zixiao the feeling that he was not an ordinary person, and he could be escorted by a group of officers and soldiers, and his identity must be unusual.
And in the car sat two female dependents, one of whom ****** dressed in snow-white ancient costumes, setting off her noble and enchanting, and her beautiful eyes were full of spring
On the other side of the middle-aged man, sitting beside the middle-aged man, was a twenty-eight-year-old beauty, who was seen to be elegant and elegant, and had a light spirit.
The skin is delicate, the demeanor is leisurely, the beautiful eyes are longing, the peach cheeks are smiling, the air is like a quiet orchid, and it is indescribably gentle and lovely.
It was the first time I saw such a beautiful woman, Li Zixiao, which directly made him stunned.
Li Zixiao couldn't describe his mood at this time, he only knew that his heart seemed to be grabbed by someone at this moment, and it was beating straight up.
Li Zixiao never believed in any so-called love at first sight, he didn't believe it in his previous life, and he didn't believe it in this life, because he never fell in love in his previous life or in this life.
However, at this moment, Li Zixiao suddenly understood the thoughts of those who agreed with love at first sight, because at this moment he felt that he was in love.
Looking at the delicate face and dusty temperament of the young girl in the car, it took a long time for Li Zixiao to come back to his senses.
"Is this what is called love at first sight? It's a wonderful feeling. Li Zixiao shouted excitedly in his heart.
At this time, Li Zixiao and his sergeants were all wearing armor, but they were not the mandarin duck robes of the penetrating imperial court.
It's just that at this time, Li Zixiao is pulling up the official flag in a bright way, and a big banner with the word 'Li' is waving in the wind, so that people can know that he is an official soldier at a glance.
"Thank you for the rescue, this official Lin Yongnian, the current prefect of Yangzhou, is planning to take office, I don't know what to call the general."
The middle-aged man arched his hand at Li Zixiao and said gratefully.
"Li Zixiao, a guerrilla general in Xiayongcheng, has seen Lord Lin, and it just so happens that the official plans to go home to save his relatives and pass through here.
Seeing that there were bandits attacking the official convoy, he ordered someone to come to the rescue, and the adults and relatives were fine, otherwise the matter would be a big deal. ”
The middle-aged man in front of him is estimated to be his future 'father-in-law', Li Zixiao didn't dare to be a little presumptuous, and replied politely.
Lin Yongnian didn't know the origin of Li Zixiao, at this time he only knew that Li Zixiao was a general of the imperial court, and he also saved the lives of their family, of course he had to be polite to others.
"Today's general's life-saving grace, Lin is grateful, is the general going to Yangzhou City? It's better for us to go together, and by the way, the general will escort us for a while. ”
Lin Yongnian saw that Li Zixiao and his party also seemed to want tens of millions of Yangzhou City, so he asked very unceremoniously.
"No problem, let's just stop by, and the lower officials will escort you to Yangzhou City."
Li Zixiao was worried that he didn't have a chance to find out about the situation of this little lady of the Lin family, this was an opportunity, of course, he agreed very happily, anyway, it was also a way.
So, Li Zixiao became a bodyguard and escorted the Lin family to Yangzhou City, along the way he always tried to talk to the little lady of the Lin family, but he couldn't find a chance.
And Lin Yongnian doesn't seem to want his woman to be entangled with a military general like Li Zixiao, so that his woman can stay in the car all the time, which makes Li Zixiao a little unhappy.
Lao Tzu saved the lives of your whole family, can't you say a word to your woman?
Although Li Zixiao was very unhappy, he didn't dare to be presumptuous, he didn't have a chance today, there will always be a chance in the future, let's come to Japan for a long time, we'll see.
Finally, Lao Tzu took a fancy to a girl, and he could let you run away, Lao Tzu decided that you were completely fascinated by the beauty and couldn't extricate himself.
Lin Wan'er actually noticed that Li Zixiao's eyes always looked at her intentionally or unintentionally along the way, but unfortunately without his father's consent, she didn't dare to talk to Li Zixiao easily.
But Lin Wan'er is the mind of a sixteen-year-old girl after all, and Li Zixiao is riding a high-headed horse and wearing elite armor, which is really good-looking.
After Jean secretly glanced at Li Zixiao a few times and was discovered, Li Zixiao smiled at her, making her blush.
decisively put down the sedan curtain, and didn't dare to peek at Li Zixiao again.

Gou Yu'er is a gangster in Yangzhou City, due to the early death of his parents, he grew up eating hundreds of meals.
When he grew up, he naturally joined the black in Yangzhou City? The social organization has become a member of the army of gangsters.
Because he dared to fight and rush in the action of grabbing turf, he was a famous hob meat, and he was very appreciated by the older generation of gangsters.
As a result, he soon emerged among the gangsters in Yangzhou and became a well-known gangster leader on several nearby streets.
Today, as always, Gou Yu'er is still dutifully with a group of younger brothers, and has been waiting on the outskirts of the city, ready to choose a target to start.
In the afternoon (fifteen to seventeen o'clock), the dog leftover lazily leaned against a locust tree, bored with a withered grass root in his mouth and closed his eyes to recuperate.
Beside him were more than a dozen younger brothers, one by one, standing and sitting together, not sitting and arguing.
At this time, a splashy person came up and asked with a hippie smile, "Big brother, why have you lost a lot of money in the past two days, and we will go back tomorrow." When the time comes, you can take your brothers and go to have a good time! ”
"Okay, big dog, where do you say you're going?"
The dog leftover was in a very good mood at this time, and asked with a smile, and the branch in his hand shook the question.
"Let's go to Cuihualou, but I heard that there was a new group of Qingqi people there the day before yesterday.
Our brothers have money, and they must comb it for them, big brother, do you say yes? ”
With that, the splash let out a lewd laugh.
"Okay, wait for another order, let's go back, when Lao Tzu takes you to Cuihualou, have a good time, Lao Tzu has a treat."
Gou Yu'er readily agreed.
"Brother Xie. Those little brothers around him, hurry up and kneel and lick them one by one!
And Gou Yu'er also likes this feeling of being flattered by everyone. (To be continued.) )
